There’s more to Kia than you may think...Established in 1946, Kia is Korea’s oldest car maker. Kia Motors Corporation is one of the top 5 automotive groups in the world. In the Interbrand ranking 2014, Kia was ranked 74th out of the World’s top 100 brands. Kia have a network of over 180 dealerships in the UK. In 2013 we reached a significant milestone having sold half a million cars in the UK since we launched in 1991.

There’s something special about the Kia range – it’s the focus on the detail, the passion and enthusiasm put into every model by our design team headed by Peter Schreyer, who previously designed the original Audi TT.

Sophistication has an all-new lookThe All-New Kia Sorento is a ground-breaking SUV combining 7-seat space,
agility and comfort in one stylish package. There are 4 models in the new range
comprising the ‘KX-1’, ‘KX-2’, ‘KX-3’ and the range topping ‘KX-4’. The range
builds on the heritage of its popular predecessor whilst boasting a long bonnet,
low roofline and swept-back silhouette which all contribute to its dynamic
proportions and sleek design.
All models have stylish alloy wheels and roof rails which not only create a
sophisticated yet contemporary look but have a practical purpose too as they
help free up more space inside the cabin. All models also feature front and rear
fog lights, stylish privacy glass and the convenience of electrically folding and
adjustable mirrors with LED indicators which makes it easier to park in tight
spaces. In addition to the aesthetic appeal of the LED’s they also illuminate
quicker, last longer and are more energy efficient than conventional bulbs
therefore offering practicality as well as sophistication. The All-New Sorento has
already been awarded the prestigious iF product award recognising design quality
amongst its main criteria.
Take a look at the distinctive dark metallic mesh Kia ‘Tiger-Nose’ grille and stylish
chrome exterior door handles (‘KX-2’ upwards). Add in engaging SUV performance,
low CO2 emissions from 149 g/km, superb levels of technology and the All-New
Sorento definitely deserves a closer look.
What Car? has already named it the No.1 seven-seat SUV in a field of
top competitors.

Intelligent ThinkingAll new Sorento models are available with Kia’s advanced EcoDynamics
technology. This fuel-stretching Intelligent Stop and Go (ISG) technology can help
save up to 12% more fuel and reduce your carbon footprint – simply by cutting the
vehicle’s engine off whenever the car is stationary. When you come to a stop, select neutral
and remove your foot from the clutch and the engine will re-start instantly. All elements work
together to create what we call ‘EcoDynamics’. Clever stuff!
This means reduced fuel consumption and lower CO2 emissions – from just 149 g/km on the
‘KX-1’ 2.2. litre CRDi (diesel) engine which saves you money and helps the environment too.
ISG does not operate where there is excessive drain on the vehicle’s battery. During winter months use of headlights, the heated rear screen and other electrical loads may inhibit ISG. Please log onto www.kia.co.uk for further information or refer to your Kia owners’ handbook.

Intelligent All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) technologyThe All-New Sorento features a maximum towing capacity of 2,500kg (transmission dependent) and makes light work of pulling
anything from trailers to caravans, or even a horsebox. The ‘KX-2’ upwards feature self-levelling suspension amongst their
standard specification. This feature means the vehicle height automatically adjusts depending on how many people or how much
luggage has been loaded in order to improve driving stability. This is also used to assist when towing trailers, keeping the vehicle
level despite the additional weight of the trailer/caravan.
Inspired by rugged terrain, the All-New Sorento’s All-Wheel-Drive (AWD) technology is designed to make everyday driving more
comfortable. All-Wheel-Drive means in normal driving conditions, the vehicle remains in standard 2WD mode to boost fuel economy
but faced with more adverse weather conditions, the AWD system anticipates the need for greater traction and automatically
engages. The innovative, continuously active AWD ensures the All-New Sorento maintains excellent traction on rough, loose or
slippery surfaces and helps improve lateral stability when cornering.
22
The All-New Sorento range is fitted with six airbags as standard – driver, front passenger, front side and curtain airbags which help minimise the risk of injury in the event of a collision.
23
Rack Mounted Motor Driven Power Steering (R-MDPS)A firm, solid feel and unprecedented steering response are simultaneously achieved with R-MDPS.
ABS with Electronic Brakeforce DistributionThe Brake Assist System (BAS) detects emergency braking depending on how quickly you brake. It instantly applies full braking force which helps shorten the overall braking distance.
Hill-start Assist Control (HAC)Hill-start Assist Control prevents you from rolling backwards when starting on a steep hill.
Vehicle Stability Management (VSM)Vehicle Stability Management helps minimise over or under-steer in adverse weather conditions.
Emergency Stop Signalling (ESS)This feature causes the brake lights to flash simultaneously followed by the hazard warning lights in the event of the vehicle braking sharply, helping to avoid collisions by warning following traffic.
Uncompromised safety credentialsAt the crash test laboratories of Kia Motors’ Namyang Research and Development Centre, we undertake
rigorous testing for a wide range of motor accident scenarios. From the early phase of development we create
computer simulations to predict a vehicle’s safety and up to 100 crash tests of the vehicle are performed prior
to launch. The All-New Sorento range is fitted with all-round 3-point seatbelts, whilst ISOFIX child seat top
tethers and anchor fixings are fitted as standard in the rear to protect younger passengers on-board.

Six airbags as standard
Blind Spot Detection (BSD) – ‘KX-4’If the All-New Sorento senses a car in your blind spot, the blind spot detection system triggers a visual warning. If the driver tries to change lane whilst a car is in the blind spot, the system sounds an audio alert
Rear Cross Traffic Alert (RCTA) – ‘KX-4’In conjunction with the Blind Spot Detection system, the Rear Cross Traffic Alert will assist the driver when reversing into crossing traffic. When reverse gear is engaged, RCTA will monitor for any crossing traffic and provide a visual warning in the left or right exterior door mirror which is accompanied by an audible sound. The system is able to detect cars, motorcycles and even shopping trolleys although the detection zone varies (car 20m, motorcycle 15m and a shopping trolley 10m).
25
Your safety is our top priorityThe All-New Sorento uses more than 52.7% advanced high strength steel (AHSS) This exceptional
steel reinforces the front, rear and sides, as well as high stress points throughout the car’s body
ensuring your safety is our top priority.

Full size alloy spare wheel:For convenience, a full size alloy spare wheel is standard across the All-New Sorento range.
TPMS (Tyre Pressure Monitoring System)The Tyre Pressure Monitoring System not only warns you if the tyre pressure is too low but it also shows the current pressure of each tyre.
The All-New Sorento boasts a 5-Star EuroNCAP rating which makes it amongst the safest cars in its class.
26
Lane Departure Warning System (LDWS) – ‘KX-3’ upwardsA camera at the front of the car monitors lane markings and, if the driver moves out of the lane unintentionally, the instrument cluster emits a warning.
Drive mode select (‘KX-2’ and ‘KX-3’ – auto models only and ‘KX-4’) By pressing a button you can choose between Normal, Eco, or Sport drive mode to adjust the transmission to your preferred driving style and your driving environment: Normal is for every day driving, Eco for more fuel efficient gear changes and Sport for a more dynamic drive.
Speed Limit Information Function (SLIF)- ‘KX-3’ upwardsThis handy feature uses a camera and navigation system to read speed limit signs along the road and displays the information beside the speedometer and on the navigation screen.
27
Parking made simpleWhether it’s assisting you with parking, manoeuvring in tight spaces or taking corners with added confidence – the All-New
Sorento comes with highly refined solutions for a safer journey.
360° around view monitor (‘KX-4’)This is a brand new intuitive system on the range-topping ‘KX-4’.
